Dimensions: 0.79 in x 0.79 in x 0.2 in Weight: 0.14 oz The voltage can be measured, but excessive current (e.g driving it with a 1W driver board) could possibly damage it, unless the forward voltage drop for this IR led is low relative to a white led. e.g. a 1W white led with a typical 3V voltage drop carries 1/3=0.333A. Thus, if this IR led's forward voltage drop is say 1.6V as normal red leds, then it's power dissipation would be 1.6 x 0.333= 0.53 which is OK. So it could be swapped into a 1W white led flashlight. But if it's forward voltage drop is similar to white leds, then power dissipation would be 1W which might burn out the LED. (New 0.5W ir led emitter on 20MM board emitter infrared is the responsibility of Whitney Nolan) |
